Dont' get it twisted, anyone; plenty of companies have a reputation to maintain for this reason (but don't do this). This is an absurdly generous severance package.

Yes, but I wouldn't stop watching the originals. And I wouldn't stop watching anything until I saw what came out.

Ugh. I hate these "guilt by association" hit pieces. Nothing is wrong and yet we must signal our virtue. Might as well just open our pants and wave our wangers, hoping for a better world

Lots of handwaving about fear of rust changing too often and even MORE downvoting of this as if there is no concern whatever. Neither of these extremes are valid. For me it comes down to the old standby: just vendor the .cargo build chain

TBF, it's certainly best practice, advised by the model providers themselves, to cut sessions short and start new ones. Anthropic's "Best Practices" doc[0] for Claude Code states, "A clean session with a better prom

Qwen3-Coder produced much better rust code (that utilized rust's x86-64 vectorized extensions) a few months ago than Claude Opus or Google Gemini could. I was calling it from harnesses such as the Zed editor and trae CLI. I was very im

It is difficult to explain to a division director that they do not have sufficeint capacity (enough qualified programmers) to compete features within a set time budget. The old joke goes, "It takes one woman nine months to produce a b

Ward Cunningham [edit: oops, it was Kent Beck] had it right, long ago, when he wrote in "Extreme Programming" [paraphrase]: You don't drive to Florida by carefully lining up your car in New York on I-95 South, locking the ste

I found a lot of value in these benchmarks and evangelized about them at my various employers over the years. Almost any enterprise is interested in lowering their cloud compute costs. Riddle me this: other than rotating out stale logs in

Good news, guys! The maintainer updated the repo fifteen months ago so that the copyright in the license file mentions "2025".

The maintainer has no obligation to accept funds. But the maintainer does have an obligation not to post that they "lost their funding" from FLOSS when it is they themselves who have refused it (on whatever grounds). This isn&#x27

I love this stuff. It's the kind of lore that keeps getting forgotten and re-discovered by swathes of curious computer scientists over the years. So easy to assume many of the old artifacts (such as the ASCII table) had no rhyme or r

They aren't, though. As a SE with over 15 years' professional experience, I find myself pointing out dumb mistakes to even the best frontier models in my coding agents, to refine the ouput. A "coder" who is not doing th

To be fair, this was true of early public LLMs with rust code too. As more public zig repositories (and blogs / docs / videos) come online, they will improve. I agree it's a mess currently.

Could you be any _less_ specific in your criticism?

Last autumn I tried Qwen3-coder via CLI agents like trae to help add significant advanced features to a rust codebase. It consistently outperformed (at the time) Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude Opus 3.5 with its ability to generate and re-factor

I mean, focus is a thing that Google has always struggled with. But I kind of doubt that customers who need online marketing (ads) are going to convert en masse to users who rent cloud TPUs instead .

Of course there's the general purpose RISC V CPU controller component but also, each NPU is designed in troikas that have one core reading data in, one core performing the actual kernel work, and the third core forwarding data out.
